rAtomis a Ruby library for the Atom Syndication format and Publishing Protocol. Based on libxml-ruby so it is much faster than REXML based libraries.

rAtom was originally built to support the communication between a number of applications built by Peerworks, via the Atom Publishing protocol.

However, it supports, or aims to support, all the Atom Publication Protocol and Syndication Format and can be used to access Atom feeds or to script publishing entries to a blog supporting APP.

Here are some key features of "rAtom":

· Built using libxml so it is much faster than a REXML based library.
· Uses the libxml pull parser so it has much lighter memory usage.
· Supports RFC 5005 for feed pagination.
